what the applicant avers.
65.2. Consider the V11 for Makosa Primary School appearing at page 185 of the
applicant’s papers as part of his P series. Notice that every V11 form, under
section B, provides a ballot paper account that allows recording of ballot paper
books from 1 up to 12. Where the ballot paper books supplied to a polling station
go beyond 12, a presiding officer takes another V11 form and continues the
recording of the ballot paper books on that V11 from 13 going forward until all
ballot paper books are recorded.
